Good/bad idea to upgrade all packages to backports?



Hi,

$ cat /etc/debian_version
11.2

$ sudo apt-get upgrade
[...]
After this operation, 3,933 kB of additional disk space will be used.

vs:

$ sudo apt-get upgrade -t bullseye-backports
[...]
Need to get 233 MB of archives.
After this operation, 67.4 MB of additional disk space will be used.


Is it a good idea to upgrade all packages to backports? Will that make it easier to upgrade the system to next stable when it comes out? Or am I asking for trouble?
